Level AOperable
What it means
Keyboard focus must never get trapped in a component with no way out.
How to meet it
Ensure modals and widgets allow focus to move away (and Esc to close).
How AccessScan checks this
This criterion needs a rendered page or human judgement (for example colour contrast, focus visibility, or media review), so it’s part of manual testing and our upcoming deep scan rather than the free static scan.
